Differential activity and lack of synergy of lung surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C in interactions with phospholipids.

This study shows that the hydrophobic lung surfactant proteins (SP)-B and SP-C are not synergistic in enhancing functionally relevant surface behaviors in films and dispersions with phospholipids, and that SP-B is more effective than SP-C in facilitating surface activity. Purified bovine SP-B, SP. C...
